Computing Subject Leader:

Intent

At Broomfield School, we recognise the importance of computing in giving children the skills and confidence they need to be successful in a rapidly evolving digital world.

We would like to empower children to be active participants and leaders in a society driven by technology and will support them in discovering how technology has the potential to enhance their daily lives.

Computing skills also link closely to other curriculum areas.
